MADRID -- Manchester City avoided a repeat of their Real Madrid nightmare, but they can't dream about winning the Champions League just yet.
The fear and respect displayed by both sides in Tuesday's 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu served a purpose, but the side which cuts loose and goes for broke at the next week's return leg at the Etihad will make it to the final in Istanbul on June 10.
When a team emerges unbeaten from the away fixture of a two-legged tie, they have the right to consider themselves as favourites for the home game.
